If the Wolves can not win a game at home, believe they could win away against a team that are well positioned in route to the playoffs.

I think not. As much as my heart wants these wWolves Win, I do not see some opportunities to be a miracle tonight.

Grizzlies

Gasol playing brutal, T. Prince while trying to get used to this team, is very hard to defend and should do their own thing. Zach Randolph, happy with the team since it seems to continue a good time with them will be inspired by rest of reason. T. Allen is the key player tonight. It should be the problem for the Wolves with his avid determination on the court. I think Conley is the easiest tonight, but if this going hot then the Minnesota Point Guards will have problems.

T-Wolves

This team still does not have good rotations, much less know how to close a game that has a good chance of winning. No doubt the last game with the Knicks made ​​a great effort against a team that is considered contender. My friends that is not what matters, what counts is winning. For more effort you make, if you fail the same effort they did was in vain.

Today Ricky Rubio should have another good game like his fellow Ridnour & Barea. In the last meeting (4/17/2012) Barea had 28 points, but you have to make the observation that this game was not Ricky Rubio and Luke Ridnour also much less K-Love. The team roster was rather limited and completely different this year. Pekovick, he began to show the great qualities and enhancements.

In that game certainly were defeated.

Well, back to today. Again, No Love, No Kirilenko, and forgotten others who have spent more time injured. I do not think Barea again get 28 points when Mecias is taking most of the minutes in addition to all the attention. (Who can doubt it?). Why I say this because we know that Barea is more offensive than Ricky, but we have seen Adelman prefer to do the play with the supposed savior rather than his best offensive point guard. (! I say something I!).

I think today should be Stiemsman limelight with his rough play under the basket. I think is the key player to contain a bit much to Zach as Gasol. (Listen Adelman).

Well but this should again resulting in defeat and should end;

Grizzlies 103 Wolves 90

Combined Points = 18

Bonus = Stiesman = 6 points, 8 Rebs & Technnical Foul

Tempranito estaremos . . .

Makes no sense for the Wolves to win... therefore they will win.

Wolves 101
Grizzlies 94

Combined points = 17

Bonus: Rubio and Williamsb both hang double doubles.

I hope you are right, Wolfenstein!

All this losing is depressing. I'm starting to look at the standings and think "Yeah, we should end up with the 3rd most lottery ball combinations behind the JordanCats and the Magic." And we all know how the Magic always get the #1 pick in that scenario.

So, I'm not picking the Wolves tonight.

Memphis 99
Minnesota 91

2. 14

Grizzlies are favored by 9. They have been inconsistent lately, but we have been consistently bad.

Grizzle 96
Wolves 89

Price + Davis + Leuer = 16.

Bonus: Tony Allen season high points.

1. Wolves - 88
Girliezz - 100

2. JonShaunVis - 15 points

* Bonus 1 - Richie Rubio gets the first triple-double of his young but illustrious career...!

** Bonus 2 - Randolph gets a double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds!

I already have a feeling Love is going to come back in shape, Budinger is going to shoot the hell out of the ball and we are going to go on a run that knocks us out of a top 5 pick.

Gah! Don't say such things, you'll jinx us. That's the last thing we need after this sorry season...

Wolves lose again. Chris Johnson had a pretty cool dunk, that's the only thing worth mentioning from this game.

Chris Johnson had TWO AWESOME dunks!

Tony Allen had a hilarious one-arm-behind-the-back coast to coast dribble that I rewinded 5+ times on DVR. He also did other hilarious things during the game that entertained me in an otherwise brutal game to watch.

Marc Gasol is one of those guys who is way better than the stat-sheet says.

Mike Conley is way solid.

CunningHAM got a nice ovation from his former crowd.

Adelman was late and missed tip off because he flew commercial?

Hate saying it, but no JJ really hurt us.

Steimer foulded out in 13 minutes. I wouldn't mind seeing Chris Johnson get his playing time for awhile.

Jelly Belly has the skinniest ankles ever.

I finally found something to cheer me up. The current week 15 ESPN power rankings have the Wolves at 3rd to last, only ahead of Orlando and Charlotte. Yeah!
